5 things that must happen on RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week

#3 Rhea Ripley wins the NXT Women’s Championship

The Nightmare's reign at the top should begin this week

Rhea Ripley has become a major part of NXT’s women’s division now. The former NXT UK Women’s Champion is now a front runner for the Black and Gold brand's Women’s Championship and is getting her shot at the title next week.

Shayna Baszler is the meanest woman in WWE today, and it will be tough for Ripley to overcome Baszler in the match. However, Ripley’s recent momentum could help her during the match.

She pinned Baszler at NXT TakeOver: WarGames to pick up the victory for her team, and then won the Survivor Series match for Team NXT the following night.

Since she is riding high on momentum, it seems like the perfect time for NXT to pull the trigger and allow her to take the title away from the two-time Champion.

Baszler is ready to move to RAW or SmackDown in 2020 and already seems to have a rivalry with Becky Lynch in the works.

Keeping that in mind, the company should not let either story go waste and allow Ripley to win the title to continue her current dream run and rise in the company while sending Baszler off to face Lynch early next year.
